Australian Soldier with a Captured Martini–Henry Rifle Afghanistan 2008

I don’t know what you’re trying to get at but yes, from a legal perspective, any firearm made on or after January 1st, 1899 is treated the same as a brand new Glock or AR-15.

Your 1SG is gonna take one look at you and tell you to put that shit back where it belongs.

This gets reposted all the time and it switches between him being Australian and American, so don’t take the caption at face value.

His service weapon is an AUG, so not US for sure.

How do you contact the Australian branch of the ATF?

[-]

Possibly. One of the requirements is that it must either be a muzzleloader (this isn't) or there can't be any ammo available for it through normal channels. If they wanted to be dicks, they could point out that ammo is available (ammoseek lists two sources).

Neither one of those sources would be a "normal channel".

These are all over the Middle East.

I went on vacation to Oman earlier this year. Martini-Henrys are everywhere.

I saw them in museums. Tons being sold in local gun shops. I went to multiple restaurants and even modern third wave coffee shops that had them hanging on the wall as decoration.

Used swords to defeat the British. Pick up Henrys.

Use Henrys to defeat Russians. Pick up AKs.

Use AKs to defeat US. Pick up m4s.

Use m4s to defeat china. Keeps m4.

That country knows nothing but war.
